Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast Jamie Dodson

Legend has it that many sailors have been hypnotized by the sweet song of the sirens, causing them to crash their boats into rocks and land.  But first, sailors need to venture into siren territory before the sweet sound can grace their ears and their hearts, luring them into a fate with reckless abandonment.
We are shooters, not sailors, but the song is still sung for our ears and our hearts.  It's not a ship on the ocean, but a crack of the rifle that sends a bullet at breakneck speed with the hopes of the sender to land it home and hit his target.   That moment in time and the magic it takes to somehow make what seems the impossible happen is the vessel we shooters ride on.
Most people never get a chance to experience the excitement and magic of sending a bullet over a 1/2 mile down range and on their own hit a small target.  For any chance to hear this song that is as beautiful as it is enchanting, you must set foot to sea (enter rifle range), put your hands on the rudder and let the winds blow your sail.
For many of us, the hook is set too deep and we are forever sentenced to floundering on the line and in some weird way enjoying every minute of it.  One round at a time, frozen in time as we wait to hear that sweet song of the siren and praying to Neptune that they will sing to us just one more time that sweet sound of lead colliding with steel.

In this episode I would like to share with you personally why I have worked so hard in documenting our shooting school to put online and to share.  This is the story of Wolf Precision and Jamie Dodson as we grew through the years in our ability to do and eventually teach.
Now, as I get older I would like to document all that we have learned to share and live forever.  Even after I am long gone, I hope to leave something behind of value for the next generation of shooters.  I also wanted to take the time to do it while I was still young enough and on my A game.   Because eventually we all start to slow down and forget some many things we have learned over the years.  This is my story, my life's journey and I hope to share it with those who love or have a passion for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship and wanting to grow into the best shooter they can be.

The shooting season has begun and so have the schools.  With over 15 years of teaching on the firing line, the things we learn and see often have a great value to those planning on doing such events in the future.  Especially those who are getting ready to experience a class for the first time.  Regardless the class or the location, here are some things that are already standing out this season and are worthy of both sharing and discussing how to prevent these things from happening to you.

In this episode, we discuss at length, carbon fiber barrels...the good, the bad and truly how do you make a decision.  Everyone building a custom rifle wants a great looking rifle.  Should you choose carbon for that reason?  What about a match or long range rifles, would it make a good choice there as well?
I have this conversation every week with customers.  I really want to share with you my personal thoughts on why you may want to choose it or on the other hand why you may not want to choose it.  There is a lot of misinformation on the pros and cons. I want to simply share with you what I know and have come to experience in building rifles for nearly two decades.  
We hope you enjoy.

We are excited to invite Bruce Thom from BAT Machine Co. back on to the show talk about their new release, the Hammerhead.  Known for being one of the very best actions made, this new model is in my mind the pinnacle of what a tactical action could be in both quality, design and of course accuracy.  Join us on our conversation with Bruce about the newest release and his insight into making world class receivers.

So, you have your hunting rifle or match rifle ready for the season and now it is time to practice.  This is a fork in the road for most shooters.  Hunting rifles often are expensive to shoot and have more recoil than most would enjoy for a full day at the range.  Match rifles are made for shooting, but we often hold back because of the expense of the ammo, reloading components or simply you do not want to wear out your barrel.  It's like having that 1973 Cuda (my dream car) and not taking it out of the garage for fear of putting miles on her.
Well you have two choices...just go and shoot the rifle and take the punishment and expense or build a trainer (think daily driver).   A training rifle is more than just another tool, it is the tool that will allow you to grow as a marksman. 
Now this should be a mirror of your working rifle.  Now, if you cannot afford a second "clone" rifle, the good news is you can often just change out a barrel and bolt these days and turn it into your trainer, saving you some money.
Lastly, we talk about the caliber and why this decision is so important if you want to get the most from it and your training with it.
